London, Oct 21st 2019: RateGain , the #1 SaaS company for travel and hospitality, today appointed Mr. Harmeet Singh as its new Chief Executive Officer with a focus on driving growth and expansion for RateGain and its portfolio companies through in-organic and organic initiatives.

Prior to RateGain, Harmeet was an Executive Partner at MDP Telecom, Media and Technology group identifying and evaluating potential investments in the cloud and IT services industry. Formerly, Harmeet was a President, Cloud Services at j2 Global, Inc. and scaled the SaaS portfolio to $600M in revenues, $300M in EBITDA and 1,100+ employees in less than six years pursuing both an organic and inorganic strategy. Over the course of his career, Harmeet has participated in over 100 M&A transactions focused in the technology, media and telecom sector.

Following Harmeet’s appointment, Bhanu Chopra, Founder & CEO of RateGain, is being elevated to Founder & Chairman and will focus on executing his vision of making RateGain the most valuable travel and hospitality technology company in the world. RateGain’s leadership team comprising experienced professionals, will now work directly with Harmeet to deliver on RateGain’s growth targets.

Bhanu Chopra said, “I am excited to welcome Harmeet as we set on the journey of further scaling our business and product lines to dominate new markets. His experience in global M & A will be an asset to the company as we build out a complete suite of digital products to solve the pain-points in travel and hospitality. We have grown four times in the last two years, and to further build on our success, I plan to focus sharply on disruptive product strategy while supporting Harmeet in identifying new opportunities of growth and scaling our current business.”
